In efforts to reach more community members, Kate Annamreddy and I would like to introduce ourselves! We are Discovery’s Eco Action Leaders for the 2020-2021 school year.
You might be thinking, “what is Eco Action?†Well, Discovery’s Eco-Action Team is a group of students, parents, teachers, and administrators committed to stewardship of the environment. The Eco-Action Team is modeled upon the National Wildlife Federation’s Eco-Schools USA Program. For more information on the specifics of our program, check out our page on the Discovery website.
Students registered for Eco Action meet virtually once a month and are required to compete two Community Service hours, of which we provide suggests for in an updated Choice Board. If you and your students are interested in joining our team, please register here or reach out to either one of us via email (virginia.fisher@apsva.us and katherine.williams@apsva.us).
Happy Recycling,
Ms. Fisher and Mrs. Annamreddy
